I just want to clarify can the following be either, 'what is this' or 'what is that?' If not, how do you change the sentence to be one or the other?

Or is it it for example:

qu'est-ce que c'est : What is that?

qu'est-ce que c'est que cela: What is this?

Like chris w I find this one difficult every time it comes round, due to the English translations given - 

1. the English "certain" can carry either of the two meanings described here

2. "particular" also has several meanings, but it’s usually specific and not at all vague.  Perhaps some more examples would help?

Why can’t it just be où viens tu?

The word clore jumped out at me as well. Very much enjoyed reading and listening to this exercise.

When combining conjugations like ne jamais and ne nulle part, do we keep the nulle part rule of going at the end of the clause?

Example:
Je n'ai jamais nulle part allé
Ou

Je n'ai jamais allé nulle part

I never went anywhere

Hello, Can you please help me with this: "près de Madagascar et de l'île Maurice.". Why is it not "du île Maurice" ? because "de+le" = "du" isn't it?

Am I able to say "Avez-vous décidé?'' instead of "Avez-vous fait votre choix ?" in this  exercise?

It would be really great if this VERY important concept of Direct Object could be added to this lesson. - https://french.kwiziq.com/questions/view/wrong-answer-nous-sommes-brosse . 

More importantly because, this lesson says this « Note that when être is used as the auxiliary in compound tenses such as Le Passé Composé, the past participle must always agree in gender and number with the subject of the verb.»  --- and this statement is not true for this lesson on reflexive verbs as per the link. It creates a confusion. Kindly rectify this incorrect statement and help us new learners with the necessary concept within this lesson, please!

Thank You.

Peut-on dire : qu'est-ce qui est dans la boîte ? Ou faut-il dire qu'y a-t-il dans la boîte ?
